US looks to Africa to secure energy transition metals – The North Africa Post
The US Inflation Reduction Act- designed to promote investments in clean energy- assigns a central place to strategic metals used in energy transition industries such as lithium, cobalt, nickel, manganese, and graphite. “Africa is going to play a huge role,” Adeyemo told the agency, adding that the US and its G7 partners are speeding up to bridge the gap with China. Chinese companies expanded their assets in critical metals in Africa as China expands its market share in electric vehicles. Chinese assets include cobalt mines in the DRC and Zambia as well as Lithium assets in Zimbabwe.

Biden’s Next Crisis Might Be North Korea - The New York Times
How do you solve a problem like North Korea? President Biden’s administration has taken a notably more ambivalent approach toward North Korea than his predecessor Donald Trump, who alternately railed at and courted its leader, Kim Jong-un. But we shouldn’t stop trying to come up with bold ways to denuclearize North Korea, improve the lives of its people or lessen the risks of conflict, even if that means making unpalatable choices. It might seem preposterous, even suicidal, for Mr. Kim to seek war. The people of both Koreas certainly don’t need war, and neither does the United States.

Sudan: Urgent Action Needed on Hunger Crisis
© 2023 Zohra Bensemra/ReutersUnited Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is expected to alert the Security Council in the coming days that Sudan has entered a downward spiral of extreme conflict-induced hunger, Human Rights Watch said today. The council should immediately take action, including by adopting targeted sanctions against individuals responsible for obstructing aid access in Darfur. “The Security Council will be formally put on notice that the conflict in Sudan risks spurring the world’s largest hunger crisis,” said Akshaya Kumar, crisis advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. That could pave the way for decisive action, including sanctions on individuals responsible for obstructing aid delivery, Human Rights Watch said. Guyana, Switzerland, the US , and other Security Council members have pledged to make combating food insecurity a priority for the UN’s most powerful body.
